§ Dr. Moonie[holding answer 10 December 2002]In financial year 2000–01 Ministry of Defence spent £2,379 million net inclusive of VAT on research and development.
It is not possible to state how much of that total figure represented expenditure in the United Kingdom or in Scotland since our data does not include a regional breakdown.
